I love, love scraps. I think it all started when I was a young girl, my mom gave me scraps and I would make them into doll clothes. Bodice would be one fabric, skirt another fabric and sleeves another one. Guess that is how I came to love scrappy. I am working on two scrappy quilts now, one from squares and rectangles, the other one from 2.5 inch squares. I enjoy working with scraps more than yardage. I think it is the gratification I get from making something beautiful from scraps that most other people toss.

I do agree with the other comments, if you don't enjoy using them, give to someone who will.
